Spotify

Have you checked your "Discover Weekly" playlist today? It's morphed into "Discocover Weekly," a.k.a. disco music covers. Honestly, we should just thank Spotify for letting us know this Lizzo cover of "Stayin' Alive" exists.

Roku

Amazon

In a similar approach to Roku's prank, Amazon announced "Audible for Fish" — a three-second audiobook to entertain your marine pets. ou can play it again and again, too, because they won't remember.

Google

In one of several April Fools' Day pranks, Google added the old-school "Snakes" game to Google Maps. Just select a city and move your tiny bus or train around the map, racking up points in the form of passengers and famous locations and landmarks. If you don't have the Google Maps app, you can play online here.

Shutterstock

Ever wanted an IRL library of stock photos? That's what Shutterstock "launched" as its April Fools' Day prank, a real-life library filled with stock photos, film reels and music tracks.

Duolingo

If your Duolingo push alerts on your mobile device send you on a guilt trip, get ready to feel even worse: the company announced Duolingo Push, a fake service that allows Duo the Owl to show up in person to remind you to practice.

The fast food company announced it was launching a "McPickle" burger in Australia, and people are really, really upset that it isn't real. It's literally just a bunch of pickles instead of a beef patty, and thousands of Australian McDonald's lovers are wishing it wasn't just a prank.
